Nigella Lawson conjures up more dazzling dishes from the heart of the home, finding inspiration anywhere and everywhere with delicious results.

Recipes include the fabulously kitsch grasshopper pie - the brainchild of a night sat in front of the telly; and easy, elegant, spatchcocked poussins with baby leaf salad and sourdough croutons - a treat for two from travels in San Francisco. Plus there's spaghetti with Marmite - an incredibly simple supper for adults and kids alike, found whilst flicking through a favourite recipe book; and almost-instant Korean calamari, a delectable dinner dreamt up while indulging in another favourite pastime - shopping.

Whether you're cooking for family, friends or just yourself, suppertime needs to be easy. If you're home alone and deserving a treat, simple spaghetti is the answer. If you have people coming over and arepressed for time - Spanish chicken with chorizo and potatoes is the work of moments, the leftovers turned into dreamy breakfast quesadillas. There's Nigella's no-fuss fruit tart and for evenings when you need speed, ease and restoration there's lemony salmon with cherry tomato couscous. And for those moments when cooking is beyond you, a chip kebab is the answer.
